Dwell on Design Exclusive House Tour: Rose House

The Rose House, located in Venice, was designed by duArchitects to be open, airy, and as green as possible.

Engineered with a hybrid steel/wood structural system, the home is two floors of budget-friendly materials. According to the architect, “the ground floor is a polished concrete slab with a hydronic radiant heating system. The second floor (bedrooms) is wood framed with hardwood floors. The ceilings are rough-sawn redwood. The roof has a 4kw photovoltaic electrical system that provides most of the electricity needed to power the home.”
